CHECK UPDATE BELOW
Fresh PC turns slow - BIOS update makes it fast again - then turns slow over time. - Cant find solution
Hi guys,
I have been trying everything but can't find a solution so i will describe my experiences i had so far, hopefully someone gets an idea where the problem might be. HP Omen gaming laptop, specs below:
I re-installed windows 10, 64 bit via the recovery option about a week ago now, installed all the drivers but my laptop was slow and games performed around 10 fps on lowest settings where they normally perform with 60 fps. I double checked by manually installing drivers that mattered via the respective websites (Nvidia, intel chipset etc) but no progress. Then i also performed a bios update (to F.56) after the bios update, flashing bios etc. It was fast responsive and my games where back to 60 fps...
However after a couple of hours of leaving my pc unattended, it went back to being slow. Doing online research i found it could be an software problem during the clean install.
So 3 days ago i re-installed windows 10 again, this time with a usb stick with windows media, deleting all partitions. I let windows do all its updates -> reboot -> update etc... Then i installed nvidia drivers manually to be sure, plus i installed a driver tool to check everything was up to date... (bios was version F.56, newest version available upon checking)
Still my laptop was slow,
I opened up my laptop and did a complete cleanup of dust etc. But still my fps and overall performance was slow.
Just to try, i did a re-update of the bios to the same version, and after restart it was fast.....
Fast response times, 60FPS in the same games on the same settings etc.. the next day it still worked perfectly.
However now its been 3 days since i did the update and after starting up the pc this morning it was back to the same old slow laptop. with 10-15 fps ingame.
I have been doing alot of googling and trying solutions but can't find a anything that works so i hoped to find something with this thread.
I can now for sure say that the bios update makes a huge difference but that it turns slow after a relatively short period of time.
SPECS:
Windows 10 64bit
Model/serial nr: HP OMEN Notebook / 17-w204no
CPU: Intel I7-7700 2,8ghz
Memory: 16GB DDR4
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 (notebook)
BIOS version: Insyde F.56
250GB SSD / 1TB HDD
(I think 230W power supply)
Thanks in advance
